AMD’s next-gen Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs have arrived, setting a new bar for gaming performance. For Gamescom 2024, we’re introducing our X870E and X870 motherboard family. These boards unleash the full power of your new AMD CPU with upgraded connectivity, a host of smart features, and an arsenal of performance-boosting refinements.

Your most feature-rich, high-end options for an AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPU use the X870E chipset. The ROG Crosshair X870E Hero sits at the top of the stack. Premium metallic textures, nickel-plated surfaces, and second-gen Polymo Lighting II make this a true showcase motherboard. But this board doesn’t just look the part — it’s fully prepped to take your gaming to the next level with the power of advanced AI.

The ROG Crosshair X870E hero debuts our all-new NitroPath DRAM technology, a revolutionary DRAM slot design that gives you more headroom for extreme memory overclocking. A pair of PCIe 5.0 x16 slots stand ready for the fastest graphics cards of today and tomorrow, and they can be run in an x8/x8 configuration to support creators and AI enthusiasts ready to harness two GPUs. Five total M.2 slots, three of which support PCIe 5.0 drives, allow you to establish a fast, massive storage array, while a SlimSAS connector makes it easy to add even more storage. You’ll find all our latest refinements for installing M.2 drives, including the new M.2 Q-Latch, M.2 Q-Release, and M.2 Q-Slide.

High-performance networking options, including WiFi 7 support and dual Ethernet ports, allow you to integrate your new PC into your next-gen network. A pair of onboard USB4 ports give you versatile options for connecting displays, storage drives, and more, and you’ll find the header you need to hook up a front-panel USB Type-C port with Quick Charge 4+ up to 60W. For unrivaled gaming immersion, the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero offers a SupremeFX 7.1 Surround Sound audio solution with integrated amplifiers and op-amps. Click here to take a closer look at everything the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero has to offer.

Four new ROG Strix motherboards are getting in on the action, too. The ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi leads the charge with a robust power solution that’s primed for overclocking, premium cooling options, and our latest refinements that ease the PC building process. The ROG Strix X870-F Gaming WiFi and ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi bring next-gen performance to more mainstream audiences, while the Mini-ITX ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WiFi gives builders a powerful small-form-factor option.

On top of these new options from ROG, we’ve prepared a slate of X870E and X870 motherboards from TUF Gaming, ProArt, and Prime. Click here to learn more about all these boards and everything they have to offer your next custom desktop PC.

ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme: Top-tier cooling for showcase rigs

A good motherboard and CPU deserve an excellent all-in-one liquid cooler. Our Ryujin series not only keeps your CPU running in prime shape but can also serve as an incredible centerpiece for your build, thanks to the built-in screen. And our new ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme is the cream of the crop: with an upgraded Asetek Emma Gen8 V2 pump and an embedded VRM fan, this cooler is designed for top-tier CPUs to ensure optimal cooling and performance, even when overclocking. The included ROG daisy-chainable fans allow for simple ARGB and fan control with one cable, and has a thicker 30mm fan for stable airflow with low noise.

All this is topped off with an 3.5-inch LCD screen sporting an ultra-sharp 640x480 resolution and upgraded 60Hz refresh rate for smoother animations. With Armoury Crate you can set the screen to display vivid ROG wallpapers, real-time system information, or custom animations of your choice. For a truly personalized look to your new rig, the Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme stands ready.

ROG Falchion Ace HFX: A compact 65% keyboard with customizable actuation

You asked for it, and we’ve delivered: the ROG Falchion Ace HFX is our first analog gaming keyboard with hall-effect switches. Our ROG HFX Magnetic Switches offer a solid typing feel, with the added benefit of a customizable actuation point from anywhere between 0.1mm and 4.0mm when you need instant keystrokes. With our Rapid Trigger toggle, you can easily swap to the fastest possible actuation and key repeat, without having to even touch the software. Moreover, our Speed Tap mode can prioritize the last input and automatically release the previous one to eliminate any time gap for counter-strafing and to ensure precise aiming, especially in first-person shooter games.

The fast actuation switches are a perfect match for the keyboard’s 8,000Hz polling rate reducing delay from 1 millisecond to a mere 0.125ms. Five layers of dampening and a silicone gasket mount absorb pinging noises for a premium, cushioned typing feel. A multi-function button and interactive touch panel allow you to quickly set the actuation point, play or pause media, adjust volume, or tweak keyboard lighting with a few taps. The keyboard even comes with dual USB-C ports, with flexible placement for a neater setup, and the ability to quick-toggle switch between two PCs. A bundled keyboard cover protects the Falchion Ace HFX from dust when not in use.

ROG Strix Scope II 96 RX Wireless: Optical switches in an efficient form factor

Two ROG Strix Scope II 96 RX Wireless keyboards, one in white and one in black.

Last year, our ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless keyboard wowed gamers with its space-efficient 96% layout and premium typing feel. But we just made it even better with the new ROG Strix Scope II 96 RX Wireless Gaming Keyboard, offering our ROG RX Optical Mechanical Switches for even more precision. Unlike our more traditional NX switches, RX switches use an optical trigger with a laser to detect each key actuation, for lightning-quick keystrokes with near-zero debounce delay and even better longevity. Its RGB LEDs are also positioned in the middle of the switch, creating an even more stunning lighting effect with additional ROG-themed UV-coated ABS keycaps featuring special ROG elements for a unique look.

Like its predecessor, the ROG Strix Scope II 96 RX Wireless Gaming Keyboard features sound-dampening foam to absorb pinging noises, as well as an intuitive multi-function button and multiwheel for controlling media playback, volume, and lighting. The F1–F5 keys are pre-programmed as hotkeys for Xbox Game Bar and recording functions.

 It also comes with tri-mode connectivity, allowing you to connect the keyboard via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz SpeedNova wireless technology through our ROG Omni receiver, or wired USB. And with support for our ROG Polling Rate Booster (sold separately), gamers who want even more responsive play can achieve an 8,000Hz polling rate. On top of all that, its ergonomic design offers three tilt positions and a detachable wrist rest so you can game comfortably for hours.

ROG Harpe Ace Mini: A lightweight, compact mouse for competitive gaming

The ROG Harpe Ace series of mice is developed by and for esports enthusiasts, with a lightweight, ambidextrous design perfect for precision gaming. The ROG Harpe Ace Mini is our latest addition to the family, with a smaller semi-symmetrical form factor that inherits its shape from the standard Harpe Ace while accommodating different grip types and hand shapes. At only 49 grams, the Harpe Ace Mini is ultra-lightweight for competitive play, thanks to an innovative bio-based nylon material. The surface features a new smooth coating finish for superior grip and a premium matte appearance.  It also comes with our new ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor, capable of 42,000 dpi sensitivity with less than 1% deviation for ultra-precise movements, even on glass. Onboard control allows you to store your favorite settings on the mouse and enable them with a button combo — perfect for esports gamers traveling from venue to venue for competitions.

The Harpe Ace Mini uses our new ROG Optical Micro Switches with instant actuation and a 100 million click lifespan, as well as Tri-Mode connectivity, offering Bluetooth, wireless 2.4GHz, or wired connectivity. The ultra-low latency ROG SpeedNova tech inside this mouse communicates with the included ROG Omni Receiver, so you can connect multiple ROG peripherals over 2.4GHz with only one dongle. Customize your experience with the included PTFE mouse feet and ROG mouse grip tape, or our sold-separately Polling Rate Booster for even faster reaction times.

We’re also releasing a Moonlight White version of our ROG Strix Impact III Wireless mouse, which offers dual wireless connectivity over 2.4GHz or Bluetooth along with our Push-Fit Switch Sockets that allow you to easily swap your mouse switches for different click feel and easy repairs. And since it runs on AA or AAA batteries with up to 618 hours of battery life, you never have to worry about finding a port to charge.

ROG Pelta: Tri-mode connectivity and advanced hardware in a lightweight headset

Gamers looking for a superior audio experience in a more lightweight package should check out the new ROG Pelta Gaming Headset, which is a versatile tri-mode headset designed for all gamers. It allows you to connect over Bluetooth, wired USB-C, or low-latency 2.4GHz with ROG SpeedNova wireless technology through a USB receiver. The ROG Pelta offers ultimate cross-platform gameplay with PCs, Macs, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, and mobile devices.

The ROG Pelta uses an ergonomic, lightweight design with an adjustable headband that uses breathable fabric for enhanced comfort. At only 309g, the Pelta is perfect for long gaming sessions, especially considering its up to 60-hour battery life in 2.4GHz mode. Just 15 minutes of charging can provide up to 3 hours of use, so you never miss out on a match due to low battery. The Pelta is primed for gaming performance and impressive audio immersion with 50 mm ROG Titanium-Plated Diaphragm Drivers for rich, detailed sound across a wide 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency range, and a 10 mm super-wideband boom microphone for clear, detailed voice communication even during intense comms sessions.

Two groundbreaking 26.5-inch OLED gaming monitors have entered the ring, bringing unprecedented refresh rates and incredible picture quality to gamers everywhere. Our ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP is the world’s first 1440p 480Hz OLED gaming monitor, featuring a WOLED panel with an anti-glare surface and the latest Micro Lens Array+ technology for higher peak brightness, better viewing angles. The PG27AQDP comes with new subpixel layout RGWB that reduces green and red fringing on text, and with DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 connectivity, gamers can connect whatever devices they want to this gorgeous display.

Meanwhile, the new ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG brings must-have specs with a QD-OLED panel with a semi-glossy anti-reflection panel, sporting a 1440p resolution and 360Hz refresh rate for ultra-clear motion. This gorgeous display also features Dynamic Brightness Boost to increase the brightness level in low APL scenes. And with 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut with accuracy of ΔE < 2, it’s going to look amazing right out of the box. Connect over DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, or USB-C with 90W of power delivery to charge your devices — like your phone, which fits neatly in the holder on the compact base of the monitor.

Both of these monitors come with our three-year warranty and OLED Care+, providing more advanced settings for OLED monitors. They also support the latest version of our DisplayWidget Center software, allowing you to adjust your monitor’s settings right from your PC, create custom hotkeys for your favorite modes, or automatically switch between modes based on the app you’re using. Our PG series of monitors even supports our new AI Visual feature, which you can tweak through the software as well. You can download DisplayWidget Center here.

Leap into next-gen networking with these WiFi 7 routers

WiFi 7 is here, and the name of its game is speed. This next-gen wireless standard ups the ante with a big bandwidth boost, and the routers and devices you need to take advantage of it are available today.

For Gamescom 2024, we’re pulling back the curtain on three new components ready to kick off your WiFi 7 network. It starts with the ROG Rapture GT-BE19000. This beastly tri-band WiFi 7 wireless router offers blistering speeds up to 19Gbps through next-gen tech like 320MHz channels on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM. In select regions, support for Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) can boost the efficiency, signal coverage, and performance of the 6GHz band.

The ROG Rapture GT-BE19000 pairs next-gen speed with striking good looks. Featuring a laser-engraved heat plate and eight side-emitting LEDs, the Aura lighting design creates a standout ROG pattern for any gaming setup.

ROG routers stand at the pinnacle of our lineup, and the ROG Rapture GT-BE19000 is no exception. It boasts ROG Gaming Network, which connects multiple gaming devices to a single Gaming Network SSID using ASUS WiFi 7 Guest Network Pro tech. This arms each device with network-boosting features like triple-level game acceleration, all without requiring you to configure each device individually. Versatile WAN configuration options and convenient 4G LTE / 5G Mobile Tethering give you always-on internet, and subscription-free AiProtection Pro keeps it all secure.

Gamers aren’t the only folks who have been eagerly watching WiFi 7 roll out. Creators, professionals, and all-around PC enthusiasts have plenty to gain from a WiFi 7 upgrade, too. The ASUS RT-BE86U brings next-gen networking within the reach of these audiences and more. While not equipped with support for the 6GHz band, it does offer up to 20Gb of wired networking capacity across its rich selection of Ethernet ports. AI WAN detection support simplifies setup, even if you’re harnessing multiple internet connections. If you prefer to keep your gaming PC connected with a hard line, this might be all the router you need.

Support for WiFi 7 features like MLO and 4K QAM boosts this unit’s dual band throughput up to 6800Mbps. With its faster speeds and low latency, the RT-BE86U offers a 30% boost in overall transmission efficiency compared to its predecessor, the RT-AX86U Pro.

Upgrading to the ASUS RT-BE86U gives you access to our full suite of conveniences. Guest Network Pro gives you effortless network segmentation with up to five SSIDs, Mobile Game Mode minimizes lag and latency for mobile gaming with just a tap in the ASUS Router APP, and you get subscription-free network security with AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro. What’s more, it supports AiMesh, so you can use it alongside another AiMesh router to create a mesh WiFi system.

Maybe you’re not quite ready to move on from your existing gaming PC, but you’re more than ready to take advantage of WiFi 7. For you, we offer the ROG USB-BE92. This tri-band USB adapter gives your PC an instant upgrade to WiFi 7. You’ll enjoy aggregate speeds up to 6,500Mbps, advanced network security that supports WPA3, and access to the wide-open 6GHz band for low-interference networking. This plug-and-play adapter is compatible with a wide range of systems thanks to support for both Windows 11/10 and compatibility with both USB Type-A and Type-C ports.

Building off our Computex announcements, we shared more about our newest PSUs at Gamescom: the ROG Thor 1200W Platinum III and ROG Strix 1000W Platinum. Both of these PSUs use GaN MOSFETs for superior power efficiency and cooler operation, our ASUS-patented GPU-FIRST intelligent voltage stabilizer, and ATX 3.1 compatibility for the latest graphics cards.
